    Yup.  Try http://www.mklinux.apple.com/  - Linux for PowerMacs.  They do it for
    Suns too, apparently.  And you can get all sorts of stuff for it, including
    Netscape.  There's even a site just for Linux Freeware,
    ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/  , for people to play with.  Great system.

    I'm aware of a fairly large number of MOO users who run it at home.  It came
    free on a cover CD for the biggest and best PC magazine in the UK 3 months back,
    too.

    That's kinda what I mean.  Windows'95 is bigger and slower than Windows 3.1, and
    still doesn't offer the power of Unix, or the ease of use of a Mac - or CDE on a
    Unix box, for that matter.  And *boy* is the Internet community pissed of at
    Microsoft...

    I hear from a colleague who goes to these things, that Microsoft were quite
    shocked by their reception at a conference over here last month.  Sorta like
    when the villian goes on stage in a Pantomime, I'm told...

    So Chaco, look to your market!
